Supplier Management: Creating a Roadmap for Best-in-Class Supplier Management

The Internet of Things (IoT) is already a huge deal and it's only going to get bigger

There are far more devices connected to the internet than there are people in the world and that number is projected to grow dramatically in the coming years. Whether you're an individual hobbyist or an enterprise developer, there's a great chance you'll find need for a cloud-based service to listen to the devices in your IoT solution, facilitate communication, and even communicate back to the devices telling them how to behave.

That's why there's Azure IoT. Azure IoT includes the dedicated IoT Hub service, IoT solution templates called IoT Suite, as well as many other general services for processing IoT data and turning them into real business insight. With a little time and learning, you’ll have a service designed to handle massive amounts of communication with devices, but also able to scale down to startup and even hobbyist scenarios.

Join this webcast to learn how to:
•Conceptualize why you might need a cloud-based hub solution
•Easily set up an IoT Hub in Azure
•Create simulated devices and communicate to your hub
